About

Queer poetry takes to the stage; grip the open mic or be captivated by the performances.

Come along to Chimes - Bath's leading open mic poetry night. Since July 2023, they have been bringing performance opportunities and some of the UK's best poets to spoken word enthusiasts in Bath. Whether you are a seasoned performer or just starting out, Chimes is a place for you. In Summer 2025, they published an anthology of our gorgeous community's work, packed with poetry and even the cover designed by our poets.

The June event will be headlined by the fantastic Bristol-based poet, Tom Denbigh!

Open mic sign-up on the door.

This event is part of Queer Bath.
